…but Jack took me up on it. I stood stage right and for 40 minutes the two of them peeled the fucking paint off the ceiling. It was one of the most visceral sonic sets I’d ever seen, and with mostly borrowed gear. Now they’re in the Rock Hall. Life is weird. #whitestripes

…a proper Marshall and figured they’d take it from there. The club held 300, we pushed 450 into the place. The walls were sweating. I had a tradition that every year I bought a set of guitar picks and told every band if they needed one I had it covered. Yes it was meant to be snarky…

…on the showcase, White Stripes were second to last, the unofficial “headline” slot. The day of the show all the bands showed up to load in I got to works setting up the show. Then the Stripes came in. Jack had one guitar, no amp. Meg had no drums. Ok. I got one band to lend drums, found Jack…

…leaving for a major label deal. This was being billed as their big coming out show. Usually I would advance the show getting any gear or rider needs met but I never got any response from the Stripes management but I knew it was just two people so how hard could it be? There were 5 bands…

…two years. Then in 2001 I was asked to oversee a new but much smaller venue. I was happy to do it but I asked why the smaller stage. “There’s a showcase we want to really go well. The White Stripes.” Admittedly my response was “who?” They were playing a showcase for their label they were…

3/1… make amends by trying to serve others? I think he made some astonishingly bad choices and is trying to be better. BTW I have seven skull tattoos and I never researched them ahead of time. None are nazi adjacent but if one was I probably wouldn’t have known it until it was pointed out to me. JS.

2/1… but was on the mend and doing his best to help others. Because his face tattoo was still visible is he still a Nazi? Will he always be no matter how many people he helps? I don’t think Platner was a Nazi, but he might have been. Is he not allowed to have a change of heart and want to…

I recently watched an interview with Jay Mohr where he talked about his drug intervention. The addiction specialist was a former skinhead with a swastika tattoo on his face he was in the process of getting removed but was clearly still there. He’d obviously been through some rough shit…1/1

Hope not, but the more they overreach the more we have to keep up the fight.

I used to work for that film festival about 18 years ago. Looks like the programming is still strong.

Who are these Reylos with so expendable cash in this economy?

I swear if this works I’m getting back into show business because it’ll be proof anything is possible. Also who are these Reylos with so much expendable cash in this economy?

At least they’re not blaming KK. Glad Driver explicitly stated LFLM was supportive.

That’s set 10,000 years before the sequel trilogy

I always thought this was a good description of the Tea Party…
